Australian players removed from the team for not writing an email to the coach

Watson, James Pattinson, Mitchell Johnson and Usman Khawaja were told on Monday morning by the coach Mickey Arthur that they would not be considered for the third Test in Mohali after ignoring team orders following the crushing innings defeat in Hyderabad. After the loss inside three and a half days, Arthur asked every member of the squad to let him know three points on how their individual performances and those of the team could be improved.
